{{DISPLAYTITLE:Google Rich Snippets issues}}

== Rich Snippets documentation ==
* see [[google-rich-snippets-examples]] for issues with (and suggested fixes for) the examples provided by Google's Rich Snippets documentation.

== Rich Snippets Testing Tool ==
Kavi Goel asked for feedback on early version of a testing tool to allow webmasters to check that their markup is being correctly parsed by [[Google]] for use in [[rich-snippets|Rich Snippets]]. The uf-discuss mailing list Thursday 27 Aug 2009. 

A couple of points about current support:
* Currently Rich Snippets supports hCard, hReview, hReview-aggregate, and hProduct. Other microformats may not be recognized by the tool.
* Google does not currently support the include pattern.

Testing tool:
http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets

So following lists current found issues
